Brake Fluid Flush in Wayne, MI

By pressing on the brake pedal, pressure is created in your brake lines sending brake fluid traveling to each caliper. This then activates your brake pads creating the friction needed to bring your car to a stop.

The vehicle's master cylinder acts as the heart and pumps brake fluid through the brake lines to the brake pads and calipers. Parts, like the rubber in the valves in the master cylinder, calipers and wheel cylinders deteriorate. All the residue and gunk that flake off end up in your brake fluid. Plus, the fluid itself can get old and worn out. Moisture can also get in the system. This type of combination leads to rust, which leads to more residues in your brake fluid. All this adds up to a brake system with compromised effectiveness and decreased stopping power. Any type of leak can diminish your stopping power. Brake fluid leaks are hard to detect. They could lead to your vehicle needing more time to stop or even not stopping at all. Without brake fluid, brakes can’t even function.
